TO be a postmaster may be ambition
to some, but can assure you glory is
no good to me. To run a postoffice,
such as this, and do it we'll, is difficult.
The general delivery child can run,
it it can read; but the registry and
money order business is worse than a
merchandise and commission business
combined. Let me tell you, sir, that
the patrons of this Office during the
past Is months have had double the
service that the department pays for.
When you get another postmaster 1
hope he will be the same kind OF a

DOES MINING PAY2
The Question Answered by an Authority
Of Acknowledged Reliability.

The question here propounded is
one that many papers in the East de-
light to ask aud answer in the mega
tive-some of them going so far as to
aver that every dollar taken out in
mining for the precious metals costs
two dollars. That the business should,
under these circumstance have got.
ten on so we'll, is, like mary other
seeming ,mpossib,lities, susceptible OF
explanation. The boy, going over a
slippery road to school, finding that
for every step forward he slipped back
two, got there at last by turning
round and going the other way. And
so, we suppose, (says the San Fran
cisco Mining and Scientific Press),
the business Of mining has reached
its present advanced position by going
backward! The value of the precious
metals mined in this country to date
approximates two billions of dollars.
Whence came the other two billions
that enabled our miners to make this
production? From the country, we
guess, where Cain got his wife! If it
takes two dollars to get out one, how
was the first dollar ever gotten out ?
AS the origin Of matter must remain
one of the mysteries of creation, Sc
must this remain one of the mysteries
of mining.
The truth is, that mining for gold

4. Bledsoe, in this city, in the pres.
ence of the near relatives and per.
sonal friends of the high contracting
parties.
The ceremony was performed in
the trout parlor, which was hand.
somely decorated with shrubbery and
flowers and draped with tapestries and
lsces. In the bay window to the
west hung a bell of hyacinths and
geraniums, from Boise and California,
with a large Gala lily pendent from
the center-the bell prettily garnished
with sprays of mountain pine and
small clusters of wild flowers; while
back OF it was a neat representation
OF an altar.
Promptly at IL O'Clock, the we'd
ding party entered to the strains OF
Mendelssohn's march-Mrs. L. P.
Walker at the piano. Mr.. Relf and
Miss Sadie Bledsoe, brother and sister
OF the bride, led the way as grooms.

lowing with the brides mother on his
arm; and they in turn followed by the
bride, supported by her father. The
bridal party took their positions be-.
meath the bell, and the ceremony OF
the Episcopal church was performed
by the Rev. F. M. Crook, of Emmets.
vile. 1t was solemnly and impress.
lively rendered.
The congratulations which were
then showered upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Northrop were hearty indeed. The
bride is native of Idaho, and has
spent her life mainly in Boise and
HALEY, winning friends always by
her pleasant manner, unaffected COR
diality, bright conversation, and many
accomplishments. The groom is a
well-known young business man and
society leader of Boise.
The bride was richly and tastefully
dressed in white surah silk, made en-
train, with real orange blossoms in
her hair, while the bridesmaid was
elegantly and neatly attired in an
embroidered Nile silk.
The presents were numerous and
costly, and came from relatives and
friends in All parts of Idaho and
Oregon.
Among those present were noticed
VIM. H. Nye and Miss Sarah Middle
ton, of Boise; Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Roadway, of Bellevue; Rev. and Mrs.

Roberts, Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Coffin,

Nellie Nichols, VIM. Nichols, George
Garbutt, W. S. Duniway.
At 1890 O'Clock the company sat
down to a choice lunch; and at its
conclusion Mr.. and Mrs. Northrop
took a carriage to the tram, en- route
to Portland on their bridal tour, fol-
lowed on this bright and happy day
by the well-wishes of their multitude
of friends, to many of whom doubtless
occurred the line, "Happy the bride
the sun shines on" They will return
about the 25th and make their home
in Boise.
